Carbery Group has become the latest processor to reveal its milk price for June supplies.
The Co. Cork group is increasing its milk price for June by 0.5c/L.
A spokesperson for Carbery Group said:
If this decision is replicated across the four west Cork co-ops; Bandon, Barryroe, Drinagh and Lisavaird, this will result in an average price for June of 31.9c/L including VAT.
“This price consists of a 1c/L increase in the base price and a reduction of 0.5c/L in support being paid from the stability fund (1c/L in support continues to be paid from the stability fund) giving a net increase of 0.5c/L.
“The price is exclusive of somatic cell count (SCC) or any other adjustments which may be made by the co-ops,” the spokesperson concluded.
In a breakdown of co-op prices among the group, Barryroe’s variable milk price for June is up 0.5c/L and stands at 32.76c/L including the SCC bonus, VAT and the 1c/L from the Carbery stability fund, with Lisavaird matching this. This is for milk at constituents of 3.3% protein and 3.6% butterfat.
Meanwhile, Drinagh will pay its members 32.01c/L including VAT, also not including the SCC bonus of 0.527c/L.
